Hello. My name is Marilyn. I am currently a student. Ever since I can remember, I always knew that I wanted to work with children that is why I decided to go to college to become a teacher. I have been taking care of children since I was 11 years old. Mostly it has been for children of close family friends or my cousins. I babysat my two younger cousins, currently ages 12 and 6, and I have been taking care of them for the last five years during school breaks or weeknights. I have also babysat my other aunt's three children, ages 11, 9, and 7, for the last year on some weekends if I needed to. I also took care of my friend's four children, ages 1, 5, 6, and 8, also when I was needed. In high school, I took two child care classes my senior year. We took care of 12 young preschoolers and I absolutely loved it. We would make lesson plans and teach them basic knowledge that would help the children become prepared for kindergarten. That is what influenced me to go to college and pursue a career in education. I love working with children and I would love to continue to do so!
